Nuclear waste leakage. Which is, like, totally harmless LOL because they reported it and everything LOL OMG!!!! xoxoxox.

 

Idiots.

 

Which means we'll all be eating these:

 

 

And looking like this (only not as cute):

 

 

Look! He glows in the dark!

Mwah ha ha ha ha. Etc.

[The Dogmother]

*gasps* just look at that puppy tummy!

[Valkyrie]

Oh well, I suppose you would be able to see where your dog is if he/she runs away during night time walks!

Terrific replacement for children's night lights too.

[Egluntyne]

What possible practical applications can that have?

[Minnie the Moocher]

My very black dog has a hi-vis flashing collar for night-time forays into the garden, but if he glowed in the dark...

 

And I'd never trip over him whilst fetching a midnight glass of water either.

They did this with pigs and jellyfish a while back.

They have to be under a UV / blacklight for it to show up, so you wouldn't see it running around in the garden

I remember that. They started it off just by injecting it into nose genes and there was a picture going round for a while with a pig with an orange snout, can't find the picture though.

That one ?

[Yorkshire Pudding]

He looks quite yellowy all over, I think, but especially in the nose zone. Most fetching.

 

 

The glow in the dark effect is just a label to show that the genes that were supposed to be inserted did go in, and where they went. Most genes don't show up in any way you can see, so they are coupled with something like a colour or glow so you know which experiments worked and which didn't. OH uses this technique at work but with plants.

 

The GFP protein that glows originally came from jellyfish.

Before I read the article I assumed someone had shone a very bright light through him

[ubereglu]

Yes it was the picture I couldn't find, thank you! There was a better one though of them when they were piglets and sat together!

 

It really is the rudolph of the pig world!
